Obscure humor, but maybe someone will get a chuckle...

Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones has had so much success against the New York Mets at their home ballpark that he named his son "Shea", after the Mets' home turf, Shea Stadium.

Last night, Atlanta catcher Brian McCann hit a home run in his third consecutive game against the Cincinnati Reds. The announcers flashed a graphic on the screen showing that McCann has a four-sixty-something lifetime average in the Cincinnati stadium, with a whole bunch of home runs to his credit.

I looked over at Gunsmith Bob and said "His kid is going to get the crap beat out of him at school with a name like 'Great American Ball Park McCann'."
